Inflation is like sin: every government denounces it and every
government practices it and every government lies about it.
Eagerly anticipating the downfall of the West, Vladimir
Lenin reportedly said that the surest way to bring down any nation was to
debauch its currency…our own government is managing this nicely thank you.
For those who may
have noticed, your government has lied to you.
The higher cost of living can be seen firsthand with each visit to
the supermarket. Packaged goods such as
coffee, orange juice, and everything else has shrunk while the price has
increased. When I graduated high school
a brand new VW could be had for $1700 – now you can hardly buy a lawn tractor
for that. A new home was less than
$25,000, now you can’t build a garage for that…but don’t count on the
government to tell you the truth.
The American Dream is now beyond the reach of most
people.
So what is the best
‘investment’ you can make?
The middle class continues to shrink, as 5% of the public owns 90% of the money.
It's virtually impossible to find the truth in Washington
these days.
Millions of average folks are watching their life’s work being frittered away due to the decline in purchasing power as inflation robs us of value (more so than government charlatans will ever report).

All of us have seen the effect of food inflation – a 5lb
bag of sugar is now 4lbs, coffee containers have shrunk, EVERYTHING has shrunk
but you pay the same price or more. All
of this government directed decline is putting retirement planning at risk as
non-government bankers at the fed churn out more fiat dollars.
The best investment right now might be the purchase of
quality, long term food stocks for personal consumption and future barter.
Further, I suggest investing in heirloom seeds (I store
mine in the freezer). Stock up on them
at your area retailers, eBay, or look to Seed Savers Exchange. Call them at:

It’s easy to fight
inflation, just stay home and starve… In 1919, John Maynard Keynes wrote, "By a continuing
process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and un-observed , an
important part of the wealth of their citizens." Robbing your children is
the way I would phrase it!
Don’t forget, government accounting
somehow overlooks the inflation rate for food, fuel and healthcare!
Would you want to live in a country that
is losing freedom?
How about a country that has lost ground in property
rights and become more corrupt?
If you’re an American, you’re living there.
The 20th anniversary edition of the Index of
Economic Freedom reveals that the United States has dropped out
of the top 10 freest economies in the world.
When President Obama took office, the U.S. was ranked 6th.
Now it is 12th
Will the US Government Revalue the Dollar?
It’s happened in German, Russia and in
Africa and South America. The central
government calls for all paper money to be turned in and exchanged for new
currency. This is an often used solution
for hyperinflation (which the government caused in the first place by printing
fiat money with nothing to back it…in our case, a non-government Federal
Reserve makes that decision.
Most financial planners
advise against hoarding too much cash as they know the Federal Reserve will not
let your cash retain its value. Instead,
its goal is to depreciate the value of our money. Everyone should keep some cash but also, add
some gold and silver to your portfolio despite its volatility.

Transforming Sewage into Fresh Water
If the apocalypse happens tomorrow, the good news is you
survived. No more commutes, no more
debt. The bad news? Infrastructure has collapsed and there is no
clean drinking water.
There are many ways to distill water and one common way
is the same as making moonshine, a complex and time consuming method…or it can
be done more safely by harnessing the sun with a solar still.

Useful For Bartering In A Crisis Situation
Many
of you know I’m a strong supporter of learning barter skills. Although I write about it frequently, here’s

You always manage to offer terrific resources. Thank you!
This blog is the one that I have in my 'never miss it' favorite file.
The Federal Reserve Act, and the 16th amendment set our country on a course for disaster. Woodrow Wilson's presidency seems to have marked the great tipping point in our country; a shift from "I can do it," to "meh, let someone else take care of it." We are starting to reap the fruit of almost 100 years of voter apathy and the general dumbing down of our entire population. I totally agree with a diversified savings portfolio including silver and gold (I even have some BitCoin), durable food storage, and sustainable gardening practices.
